I like having the choice of smaller single serving bottles and the big ones when I have people to share them with. If everything was available in a 12oz. version, I'd be very happy.KeAlohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193919001451657188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-58634859652853786202007-08-09T16:01:00.000-07:002007-08-09T16:01:00.000-07:00Man, I'm really beginning to regret this post.

I don't mind getting a nice Rodenbach Grand Cru. But for the domestic market, why does Deschutes, 150 miles East of me, deliver their Bond Street beer in 22 ounces? <BR/><BR/>I would pay more per ounce for a 12-ouncer.<BR/Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-35719061701037326692007-08-09T15:44:00.000-07:002007-08-09T15:44:00.000-07:00Uh, I don't get it.

Do you seriously suggest that a 10% 750 ml beer is too much?! We will avoid discussing the New Years in which I drank all three Chimay beers in 750 ml bottles except to say that dinner was great and midnight came two hours early. But still, 22 oz of beer is a jefffranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699992839260757505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-83730755935647874152007-08-09T12:38:00.000-07:002007-08-09T12:38:00.000-07:00I gotta rant more--it's good for comments.

Some of us find it better to get one beer than have to mess with 6 little bottles. I would recommend you write the brewery to make a 24 pack of 2 oz bottles just for you.<BR/><BR/>Brian is also right, what ever happened to sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-62289901804364299682007-08-09T09:01:00.000-07:002007-08-09T09:01:00.000-07:00I blame Rogue for putting Dead Guy Ale in a 22 oz....I blame Rogue for putting Dead Guy Ale in a 22 oz.

I've had the Golden Ale, and enjoyed it. I look forward to your review. I didn't think they brewed many Belgians, and they did a good job. I'm going to Bend this weekend, maybe I can get it on tap.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968887834295143047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-53632245531956313402007-08-08T14:56:00.000-07:002007-08-08T14:56:00.000-07:00i'm not particularly outraged - i like big beers i...i'm not particularly outraged - i like big beers in big bottles.<BR/><BR/>however, i like to share those with my gf...you're right, 4 beers is quite a bit to take down on a school night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
